Real-Time Risk Ops for the Speed of Fintech
Fraud doesn’t wait - and neither can you.
Today’s fintechs are redefining how money moves. With rapid growth, constant product iteration, and embedded finance pushing the edges of what's possible, the risk landscape has never been more complex.
But while fintech has evolved, most risk tools haven’t. They're slow to adapt, opaque to explain, and fragmented by design.
That ends now.
Solution: Unit21 for Fintechs
Every new product launch, market expansion, or growth campaign a fintech invests in introduces new threat vectors. Fraudsters are faster, more organized, and increasingly leveraging tools like bots, emulators, and the dark web to bypass traditional defenses.
Meanwhile, regulators and banking partners expect more. More transparency. More auditability. More control.
Yet most fintech teams are still stuck choosing between four flawed paths.
Unit21 for Fintechs was built to solve this exact problem.
We combine real-time detection, explainable AI, unified fraud and AML operations, and flexible data ingestion into a single platform - purpose-built for the way fintech teams actually work.
Unit21 is a unified fraud and AML platform built specifically for the operational realities of fast-moving fintechs - neobanks, embedded finance platforms, lending apps, payment providers, and sponsor banks.
It brings together detection, investigation, and regulatory workflows into a single system that’s:
- No-code – Launch new rules and workflows instantly, without developer bottlenecks
- Real-time – Stop fraud before money moves using millisecond decision-making and device-level signals
- Explainable – Deliver audit-ready outcomes with transparent models and traceable logic
- Flexible – Ingest and normalize data across every payment rail, customer segment, and product type
From first alert to final filing, everything happens in one place - so your team moves faster and smarter with every case.
